Description

Hi, I'm Sarah! I am an artist in love with any creative endeavor, and find myself motivated by my curiosity. Besides making artwork (a combination of photography and video), my favorite way to explore curiosity is by traveling and meeting new people. I'm from New Hampshire USA, a small state in the East coast. Growing up here has made me appreciate rural life and small town community. I am never bored, and I love filling my days with various hobbies and activities. I often find that no day is long enough!

I am excited to try workaway! My sister has done several and I have spent years looking through opportunities but I am finally in the position to take time away to make the jump. When I was in college I spent a month in Greece, and a semester in Prague, Czech Republic, and both were absolutely life changing. My semester program was very integrated into the community, and I had the pleasure of living with a host family. The daily cultural experience and my homestay were the biggest highlight of the whole experience and I have missed it ever since.

More details about your skills

Every job I've had came with little to no training. My biggest skill is being a quick learner who is down for whatever the day brings. I am highly adaptable and I love using my creativity to find better ways of doing things or solving new problems.

I have a bachelor's degree in Studio Art, focusing in photography and new media, and I also have excellent painting skills. I have taught art, but mainly use my skills in my own practice or for freelance photography and video making. I have two years of social media and marketing experience. My last job was developing photographic film at a photo lab. I really enjoyed the detail of that work, and the joy of seeing images every day.

I spent a summer working at a local farm and absolutely loved it! That’s what initially inspired me to workaway. I love the cyclical nature of the farm day and adapting to changing weather or seasons. My responsibilities were mainly in the farm stand, where I dealt with customers, quality control and packaging. I also would help with vegetable harvesting, which was my favorite part.

Another passion of mine is organizing and digging into big cleaning projects. I have spent the last four months living at home and going through my entire childhood home. The biggest tasks were sorting through decades worth of clothes, books, handwritten notes and keepsakes and discerning what to keep or not. Then, I would clean thoroughly and reorganize/redecorate each space to function the best for daily life. While it was certainly a labor of love, seeing the finished process is the most rewarding feeling! Through this experience I have acquired quite the skill for going through things, and I would love to help out with others who might be overwhelmed with their own homes so they can live their best lives.
